With the steady progress of the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier program, the number of naval carrier-based aircraft is also increasing, and as the only military currently capable of catching up with the US Navy, the development of carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy has been remarkable. In particular, with the construction of the mainland's third aircraft carrier "Fujian" basically completed and sea trials about to begin, the new generation of carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy has also been quietly announced in an unexpected way.
At the end of the video, an "Easter egg" was arranged, and the flight instructor said to Li Zhifei, who had officially become an aircraft carrier pilot: "Today is your new task, new challenge, I wish you a successful completion of the mission." Li Zhifei replied, "Yes!" As he walked towards the plane, he gave the "new plane" a shot, but with this shot, it was clear that it was a completely different new fighter.
The development of the "J-35" carrier-based aircraft on the basis of the FC-31 is undoubtedly the inevitable development of mainland military technology, because although the J-15 fighter has a long range and a larger load, the size of the aircraft is also quite large, even after the wings and tail are folded, its area is still the largest among modern carrier-based fighters, so the same deck and hangar can accommodate the number of J-15 fighters is undoubtedly the smallest.
Secondly, the J-15 fighter is still a fourth-generation fighter, does not have stealth performance, and the US military has begun to replace the F-35C fifth-generation carrier-based stealth fighter, J-15 and F-35C compared with the "generation difference", so to effectively confront the US military, relying on the J-15 is obviously not possible, so we will accelerate the development of the domestic carrier-based fifth-generation stealth fighter J-35.
After equipping the J-35 fighter, the combat effectiveness of the naval aviation will be improved by leaps and bounds, at least to the same extent as the US military in terms of equipment and technical level, which can effectively make up for the shortcomings of our army in frontal confrontation. And in addition to the 003 "Fujian" aircraft carrier, our military's active "Liaoning" and "Shandong" can also carry J-35 fighters, and from the size point of view, the J-35 is obviously smaller than the J-15, which means that if the J-35 fighter is modified, the two ski-jump aircraft carriers currently in service on the mainland can also be equipped with a few more, which can further improve the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier aircraft, thereby improving the overall combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier battle group.
At present, although there is still a big gap between the number and performance of our aircraft carriers and the US military, but with the rapid catch-up with the US military at the level of carrier-based aircraft, at least at present, the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier battle group built by a single aircraft carrier has been very close to the US military's single aircraft carrier battle group, which also means that the comprehensive combat effectiveness of our aircraft carrier battle group has ranked second in the world, and with the low-key official announcement of the J-35 fighter, the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the mainland aircraft carrier will go to a higher level, and the combat effectiveness of the navy will undoubtedly be more powerful.
A few days ago, the Chinese Navy released a short video of the pilots of naval carrier-based fighters, and several scenes at the end of the video sparked heated discussions among netizens. From the perspective of Hainan Airlines pilot Li Zhifei, this video tells the journey from his college entrance examination application, then to study at the Naval Aviation University, and finally to become a qualified carrier-based fighter pilot.
At present, the mainland naval aviation is equipped with carrier-based fighters, only J-15, and the appearance of the J-15 is very easy to distinguish, the aircraft is the mainland in the combination of the former Soviet T-10K03 and domestic J-11 on the basis of its own development of carrier-based heavy fighters, so the J-15 has basically the same appearance as the Su-33, which is also the reason why the aircraft is highly recognizable.
In the Easter egg of the Navy's recruitment video, the fighter next to the J-15 is obviously completely different from the J-15. Although it is only a vague shadow, it can also be seen that the aircraft adopts a double vertical tail design, but the vertical tail is V-shaped, with typical stealth design characteristics, and the outside of the aircraft's wing is obviously folded upward, because after the wing is folded, the aircraft footprint will be reduced, and it can be as much as possible on the narrow aircraft carrier
Fit a few more aircraft. Although the final shot is very blurry, it can be judged that this unidentified new aircraft is likely to be the "J-35" carrier-based stealth fighter that has been rumored on the Internet for many years.
"J-35" is not the official public PLA fighter number, but the name of Internet netizens, the aircraft is developed from the FC-31 stealth fighter, and the FC-31 fighter is a medium multi-role stealth fighter developed by Shenfei. The performance of the FC-31 is similar to that of the US F-35 fighter, and it is a fighter developed for multi-role combat. However, since we do not have a high-power turbofan engine similar to the F-135, the FC-31 adopts a twin-engine design, which is equipped with 2 medium-thrust turbofan engines, which has a slight advantage over the F-35 in terms of maneuverability, but because of the twin-engine design, the internal space of the aircraft is a little smaller, and its payload is significantly inferior to the F-35 fighter in stealth.
The flashing shot that appeared in the Easter egg of the navy recruitment video undoubtedly represents the official announcement of the existence of the J-35, and not only exists, from the video, the J-35 has been included in the training course of naval aviation, at least in the later stage of the test flight, which means that the Navy is likely to change the J-35 fighter in a short time.
This development will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of naval aviation and improve the mainland's competitiveness in the field of aircraft carrier operations. With the addition of the J-35, the mainland will be able to better meet the needs of modern aircraft carrier battle groups, improve the comprehensive combat effectiveness of aircraft carrier formations, and further consolidate the position of the mainland navy.
In summary, the development of carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy has reached a new milestone, which is of far-reaching significance for national defense modernization and regional stability. China is gradually catching up with the U.S. Navy, improving the combined combat capability of its naval aircraft carrier battle groups. The stealth technology and innovation of the new carrier-based fighter, as well as the continuous development of China's military industry, have contributed to the improvement of China's military strength. This development also underscores the dynamic nature of the global military balance, which requires vigilance and strengthening international arms control cooperation to maintain regional peace and stability.
